Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Cake image

My great-aunt gave me this rhubarb cake recipe. It's especially delicious when rhubarb is in season, and tastes even better with the old-fashioned milk topping. But you'll love it even with frozen rhubarb and "modern-day" whipped topping! -Mairlyn Homola, Hazel, South Dakota

I made this cake with frozen rhubarb and it turned out great! I would definitely recommend using frozen rhubarb if you don't have fresh rhubarb on hand.

This cake was a little too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't like rhubarb very much. Other than that, the cake was moist and delicious.
